@@hoi-polloi1863 Well the land is very fertile so I can’t blame them for growing crops on it. Plus Cali had been in such a long drought , who knew it was going to fill up from an atmospheric river.

West Virginian here, I recall watching as the lake reappeared after the atmospheric river in California. Very interesting and thanks for the video creation and sharing. As we’ve seen the past few years alone, water is powerful and flooding destroys. Thanks again.
or earthquakes .... those dams are a match stick to an earth quakes or a breach from the basin area of san fransico got back flow ocean into the ancien t lake bed area
If the lake only rises to about 6 feet, I don't know why they did not think of using stilts, stairs, docks, instead of rebuilding over and over again, people do this all the time where the water levels can rise or fall as much as 30 ft.
The entire Central Valley's soil is what is known as alluvial fill. It's a thousand feet deep. This valley has about 48 inches of top soil, more than any other place on earth. Average top soil is about 6 to 8 inches thick, which supports all life on earth, by being fertile enough to grow crops with out a lot of man made fertilizers. The West side of the valley floor was once Alkaline flats, where only scrub grass could grow. Then about 60 years ago, sugar beats were planted, because they love the alkaline soil, converting the alkaline into sugar. Several years ago I helped my friends company demolish the sugar plant in Mendota, where sugar beats were processed into sugar. The sugar beats removed the alkaline from the soil, and altered the soil chemistry so that beat production was no longer profitable. However, now the soil is very suitable for growing all sorts of other crops. First alfa was planted, and the soil further modified, and now fruit and nut trees can flourish. Can you say TERRA FORMING !!! The East side of the valley, is very rich in nutrients, washed down from the Sierra Nevada mountains to the East. There has always been ground water available, as the base of the valley is mostly solid rock, and other impervious clays, so the water stays trapped, since the last ice age. The aquifer is so deep in many parts of the valley now days, that it is too costly to pump it to the surface. We literally " Mined " Ground water for a century. When I was a kid, back in the 1950's our wells were at about 100 feet depth. The same well location now goes to over 300 feet, and the water is no good !!! Polluted from fuel spills at Hammer Field, now the Fresno Terminal, ( FAT/FYI ). We are just South of the airport. We were connected to the Bakeman water district from the late 1950's on, until about 1970 or so. We are now connected to Fresno City water, as the Bakeman wells became too polluted with the same runoff from our former Army Air Force base, Hammer Field. In the Western United States, water is KING !!! With out water rights, you can't even pump water from under your own land. Water is treated like any other mineral, coal, iron ore, gold or oil, etc. The old expression, " Whisky is for drinking, and water is for fighting " is still true today. Lots of Valley water is shipped to Los Angles, by farmers who sell it, because they are no longer farming due to crop subsidies. They have " Water Rights ". The entire Owens Valley, in Eastern California, is owned by the city of Los Angles, purchased by William Mulholland ( The guy who built LA !!! ), over 100 years ago to supply water to LA. In 1902 or there about, he and several others made questionable land deals, and acquired water rights to the entire Owens valley Farmers who purchased land there, intending to farm the land, found out too late that they only leased the land, and did not own the water rights, so they can not pump water to water their own crops. The city of Los Angles, owns all the water collected in this small valley. I hope that this brief explanation answers your Question. Valleys world wide always seem to have the best soils for growing, as well as adequate water supplies, whether of surface water, or shallow wells. Tim
The biggest culprit is local and state governments wanting the money for selling land like this. There’s land in every state that shouldn’t be developed, but local governments don’t care about the bigger picture
@@marychrishannon7048 Here in perpetually parched Cali more water is generally a good thing. Not far from this puddle is severe ground subsidence from excess ag pumping and low water table.
Actually, local farmers could potentially use this to their advantage and possibly build their farms with the idea of flooding in mind, just like the ancient Egyptians did. They actually anticipated the regular flooding of the Nile, using it greatly to their advantage, producing extra food during floods so they'd have food stores to make it through droughts.
@@staomruel It kind of would be, for as long as there is an extreme weather event every 15 years they might be able to cash on for a bit, or they could simply use some sort of terraforming irrigation where one would build large islands a little below use it that way.
It's these private investors putting dams all over the sierras. I studied this in field bio and the one connection no one makes is that the drought is directly correlated to these big bodies of water being drained. When the flooding happened from all the rain, the government acted shocked. All you needed to do, and what they should be doing is warning the residents in the area, because the flooding will happen again, and it will be worse the next time. The ecosystem in CenCal had always been Wetland Marshes. If you want to know more, then look up water tables sinking in California. 🤘🏼😤
It is ironic, drain the largest aquafer in the state and then pump groundwater to the point of subsidence so water will no longer percolate to underground reservoirs. Then farmers blame the politicians for the lack of water when the very practices they and their predecessors employed are the root of the problem. 😕
I currently live south of Houston. That sprawling mass was built on a swamp, thought drained. Water always goes back to its roots, and people are still surprised about the flooding in Houston. Hurricane Harvey (2017) was a rather stark reminder, though to be fair, that one did flood a third of Texas. It went to the very old coastline, the Edwards Escarpment just east of Austin. If you check topographical maps, you can see the old coast of Texas. Water always goes back to its roots.
seriously though... this happens all the time so just give the land back to the lake and leave it! Especially since it could help so much of california maybe... you know... not be on fire constantly by repairing so many other parts of the areas ecosystems???
@@thepkitty The problem with "giving the land back to the lake" is that the people owning the land will want their investment in the land and improvements back. If California wants the land as a lake then seizing everyone's land will come with fair market compensation, which would take money away from feeding, clothing, and sheltering illegal aliens, take away from slavery reparations, and money taken away from health care to illegal aliens and poor Americans. Raising taxes on rich people won't work as well because they run the state government, and Hollywood actors and actresses are immune to higher taxes by California law. That means non rich Californians who aren't on welfare will be paying for it.
Don't build in flood plains. Just because it's dry doesn't mean it WON'T come back to life. Farmers stole the water so it must mean it still flowed. They just drained it faster than it could regenerate.
There was a swampy area just west of where I grew up. Railroad built a big embankment late 1800's, but the swamp remained until people began filling in the swamp. Then they built very cute townhomes on former swamp. Flooding problems anyone?
Tulare Lake has not been gone for 'Centuries' it re-emerges after intense winter and spring rains. Last time it re-emerged was in the mid 1980's and took 3 years to disappear once again.
0:53 I bought that same "espresso maker" from amazon . Do you hear that air pump running? It is not an espresso machine. Espresso machines dont work with air pumps...they work with pressurized heated water and that thing is just a fish pump coffee pot and it is garbage. I sent it back.
Hey there, I just wanted to say thank you for making me more intelligent from watching your videos, versus less intelligent after watching certain other videos! Appreciate your time and your effort. Nice job.
The process of using the canals to pump water to ponding basins for aquifer recharge has been going on for years. Large parts of the developed parts of the Central Valley return more water to the aquifers than untouched land. I recommend folks living in the region to take the California Master Gardeners classes, it covers the hydrology of the region quite extensively.
I enjoy your videos very much. Interesting information, narrated nicely, phtos and pictures great..and the perfect amount of time..just long enough to get all the INFO included, but short enough to retain what i learn from them. Thanks. Very much appreciated.
I live almost directly across from the Space Center in Florida, since I was a teenager (Im 60 now😂). we had afternoon thunderstorms EVERY single day like clockwork, we'd have to run from the beach into our car, wait about 45 minutes and then go right back to our fun in the sun, this went on up until this past year, our yard used to flood in parts every summer, but we loved it it, cools off everything! This year we've hardly had any rain and it's been at weird times of the day, before hurricane season even started I was telling people it's going to be bad because the weather is warm and that makes for stronger storms! I don't know about y'all but I'm just a tad worried!😮😮
The reason these remnant lakes remained after the Great Central Valley Lake drained out via my greater San Fran Bay exit ... and the Central Valley aquifer's water level was still high enough, that shallow lands and the water level had these remaining lakes. With the draining of the lake water for irrigation, then pumping out the aquifer, the water level descended, and these lakes disappeared into the soil. If there are any aquifers filling back up, then these lakes will reappear !
A bit sad. All that water has to go somewhere, and it just goes where it always has. Great video, I was not aware of this issue in quite those terms, I knew about the flooding of low-level land, but it's nice to have the big picture. Thanks a lot for your efforts.
Awesome video. I feel that if all of the bodies of water had been left alone then we would be in a much better place today. and a lot of animals would have been saved too.
I live in Corcoran and this time last year the flood water was just a mile out of town. They built up the levees all around to hold the water back. I’ve seen it happen 4 times in my lifetime.
The owners of land in the lake should be reimbursed by the government for the value it had before the flooding so they can go elsewhere and the lake should be restored to its natural state! People need to learn to live with nature not use it up!
The family that literally drained the lake and sold off the parcels (mostly just leased, so they keep ownership) were the ones that were hit hardest. So if they are the cause of it, then they shouldn't be taking taxpayer money.
The large scale of the recent flooding may be related to the consequences of the Hunga Tonga volcanic eruption, which sent vast amounts of water vapour into the atmosphere and significantly impacted temperatures and rainfall around much of the world.
Fascinating...things I never even heard of for the first time? I like it, I'm finally not as bored as I felt earlier when your channel came up in my recommendations and I found out that I had somehow been unSUB'd but I corrected that. I feel lucky that I finally found something interesting that I haven't seen somewhere else so many times...I LIKE THIS and of course I liked this video too. Thanks for teaching this old dog something new!
Are these thumbnails being reused on multiple videos? Great content, just all seems super similar, or just mirrored versions of old ones, like the video of why the us is pumping oil back I to the ground amd then a recent video about an Australian dam, both used a building with black sludge coming in/going out of it, just mirrored
Most Interesting & Exciting ! ❤ Every lake has its cycle of ups & downs in life ! For thosands of years,Tulare lake was a dead lake ! Within the years,it managed to restore its ennergy & resources of water & other activities & along with precipitation it managed to spring to life again though,it does not have favourable eco system to protect its marine life !
Don't forget the crazy flooding through CA at the beginning of 2023. An unforgettable event. CA going from severe drought to being back in the green in just a matter of days with the crazy weather.
And the last 2 years of Atmospheric Rivers and Pineapple Express years back to back are most likely due to the SUV back in January, 2021, which likely added around 10% extra moisture to the atmosphere planet-wide ... You know the SUV about which I am writing ... over near Tonga ... The Super Underwater Volcano - aka Hunga-Tonga ...
This remind me Mexico City and Xochimilco. Why people don't use the lake to make floating gardens and even floating towns instead of wasting money against nature? Nobody try it?
Good planning and sound engineering. Im building my dream home right at the beach somewhere along the Gulf coast, who needs homeowners insurance right?
3/4 of the water in the state water system goes to the San Joaquin Valley Westside mega farms. 1/4 is what goes to So Cal and LA. Some Westside farms sell their state water allotment to So Cal cities for a huge profit, more profitable than using it for growing crops. IMO the "clay" layer in the valley basin is Diatomaceous Earth a natural process in lakes hundreds of thousands of years old. Never have seen a study on the true composition of the clay in the "clay layer", therefore my opinion.
Coffee always makes the brain work better! Both of you are here today! Glad to see you both! LOL. I respect your choices, It is your right! Thank you for all the information, interesting! Catch you next time!
The word " Tulare " is pronounced with the " E ", the E is not silent !!! It sounds so strange to hear the word being mispronounced after a lifetime ( 74 years ), of hearing it pronounced properly. I live in Fresno, Fresno county, an adjoining county. Tim
They need to make the lake permanent and make money off the lake. Farm fish or create a game fishing business. It's extremely sad the lake was destroyed to begin with. California could use a huge lake like that
THE ORIGIN MAPS made by early explorers showed California as a large island so it could be navigated from southern CA to Northern CA close to the Sierra Nevada mountains
Growing up in the Central Valley we say “tulary”. Its not out of disrespect for indigenous. I grew up in Squaw Valley CA, ask a native they’ll tell you they don’t care for re naming. The slow reveal on the eyes then beard now what looks like a fake witches peak. You have me captivated, it’s working.
At one point in time actual steam powered riverboats could make it inland from the Sacramento delta to Fresno up the San Joaquin river. That blew my mind when I heard that.
Have people really been fussing about your anonymity? I suppose I'm not surprised. Frankly, that desire of people to pry into peoples lives is THE reason I haven't actually dabbled much in content creation. You want to be and remain anonymous? That's fine by me; I'd want to be treated the same way. This was an interesting episode covering quite a lot of natural phenomenon. I can't recall if I've heard of this lake before, but I'm not surprised something like it exists on our planet. Thanks for sharing. :3
At around 5:35, the sound of the population centers being placed made me think my cat was under the bed, coughing up a furball. I mean, it sounded just like it. 😂
There was a town called English Indiana It flooded so much that they finally moved it to higher ground It does make sense to think of it as a ghost lake One day in Indy we had it rained 7 in in one day I said take pictures take records so you know what the worst situation would be
DUDE…I was literally just saying to my husband how I’m perfectly fine not looking up or trying to find out more about this guy. I don’t need any outside influences getting in the way of me just enjoying your show with the persona you choose to share with us. And that you’re very likable the way you are. Then seconds later you randomly say “thanks for respecting my anonymity”. Fucking nuts And you’re welcome, dude
And the reeds are pronounced toooly Also Stockton to the north used to be called tuleburg yes pronounced toolieberg Aaand the fog that filled the valley from coastline fog slipping thru the coastal mtn range You guessed tulefog or toolie-fog
If all the farmers adopted Permaculture Farming practices instead of their current destructive ecco system practices, this would solve all their issues. They would grow better high-yield crops that do not require harsh chemical herbicides or pesticides. By adopting Permaculter Practices you would also solve your water problems as well.

One major fact was left out. Dams were built in the mountains that formed new lakes that replaced TularE lake. Only extream rain can reform it.
Yeah but those dams are screwing up not just this lake but all kinds of other nature in each of those areas there in.

Why is the Central Valley such fertile farmland? It was a HUGE lake for thousands of years..
Nutrients from up in the mountains and all the way down to the lake settle in the lake as it is the low spot.
That's why they drained it.

If there are any aquifers filling back up, then these lakes will reappear !
A bit sad. All that water has to go somewhere, and it just goes where it always has. Great video, I was not aware of this issue in quite those terms, I knew about the flooding of low-level land, but it's nice to have the big picture. Thanks a lot for your efforts.
Awesome video. I feel that if all of the bodies of water had been left alone then we would be in a much better place today. and a lot of animals would have been saved too.
So what I'm hearing is humanity being humanity and pulling a woe is me when they do something without research and it bites them in the ass. Got it.
I live in Corcoran and this time last year the flood water was just a mile out of town. They built up the levees all around to hold the water back. I’ve seen it happen 4 times in my lifetime.
The owners of land in the lake should be reimbursed by the government for the value it had before the flooding so they can go elsewhere and the lake should be restored to its natural state!
People need to learn to live with nature not use it up!
The family that literally drained the lake and sold off the parcels (mostly just leased, so they keep ownership) were the ones that were hit hardest. So if they are the cause of it, then they shouldn't be taking taxpayer money.
I’m cool with you being anonymous, and I always hit the like button on shit I like. That’s a good duo dude.
I love your guys videos
Exactly! There’s TWO of em! Maybe more WATOP’s just runnin around here! Gotta catch em all.
Same with people who rebuild in areas of regular mudslides, landslides, etc
The large scale of the recent flooding may be related to the consequences of the Hunga Tonga volcanic eruption, which sent vast amounts of water vapour into the atmosphere and significantly impacted temperatures and rainfall around much of the world.
Revive Corcoran, dam it, give the west coast a Great Lake. :D
Fascinating...things I never even heard of for the first time? I like it, I'm finally not as bored as I felt earlier when your channel came up in my recommendations and I found out that I had somehow been unSUB'd but I corrected that. I feel lucky that I finally found something interesting that I haven't seen somewhere else so many times...I LIKE THIS and of course I liked this video too.
Thanks for teaching this old dog something new!
They should try to preserve the lake. It would do good to have the water as a natural reservoir.
The Earth reclaimed what man took for granted. Respect Nature and you will live an abundant life.
Great research! Much appreciation for this video. Thank you!
I love the graphics and image scrolling in the background. Someone's been playing with new tech.😃
Where did it go? Sunk into the ground, used on crops, evaporated.
It was extensively pumped to water crops, and when it was empty the land was sold. There are farms under that water.
Jesus stole it!
Well, or maybe the Devil.
Are these thumbnails being reused on multiple videos? Great content, just all seems super similar, or just mirrored versions of old ones, like the video of why the us is pumping oil back I to the ground amd then a recent video about an Australian dam, both used a building with black sludge coming in/going out of it, just mirrored
They need to just let these lakes build up. The constant draining and farming is what destroyed California in terms of lacking fresh water.
I hope the Army Corps of Engineers don't try to "fix" this.
1:06 the water is clipping through the boat lol
Great video.
Most Interesting & Exciting ! ❤ Every lake has its cycle of ups & downs in life ! For thosands of years,Tulare lake was a dead lake ! Within the years,it managed to restore its ennergy & resources of water & other activities & along with precipitation it managed to spring to life again though,it does not have favourable eco system to protect its marine life !
Nice haircut Steve ;) yea I noticed 😂
Glen Hague, Americas Handyman (RIP) always said, "Water always wins. That is why there is a Grand Canyon."
Woohoo! Build me a lake house! We're back baby!
love these vids keep it up
The AAA road maps of the 70's have the outline on the central valley map. My name is Bicycle Bob and I approved this message.
Don't forget the crazy flooding through CA at the beginning of 2023. An unforgettable event. CA going from severe drought to being back in the green in just a matter of days with the crazy weather.
And the last 2 years of Atmospheric Rivers and Pineapple Express years back to back are most likely due to the SUV back in January, 2021, which likely added around 10% extra moisture to the atmosphere planet-wide ...
You know the SUV about which I am writing ... over near Tonga ...
The Super Underwater Volcano - aka Hunga-Tonga ...
Farmers should learn from the indigenous people how to farm dry crops that were once abundant prior to being destroyed.
That is a shame. 😢
Another good video and that’s not a shame.
I heard your voice on another YT post...
Wild Iron(?)!
You can't beat nature, just let the lake what it wants to be, a lake, if you keep fighting its return, it's inevitable you will eventually lose.
This remind me Mexico City and Xochimilco. Why people don't use the lake to make floating gardens and even floating towns instead of wasting money against nature? Nobody try it?
Good planning and sound engineering. Im building my dream home right at the beach somewhere along the Gulf coast, who needs homeowners insurance right?
3/4 of the water in the state water system goes to the San Joaquin Valley Westside mega farms. 1/4 is what goes to So Cal and LA. Some Westside farms sell their state water allotment to So Cal cities for a huge profit, more profitable than using it for growing crops. IMO the "clay" layer in the valley basin is Diatomaceous Earth a natural process in lakes hundreds of thousands of years old. Never have seen a study on the true composition of the clay in the "clay layer", therefore my opinion.
Coffee always makes the brain work better! Both of you are here today! Glad to see you both! LOL. I respect your choices, It is your right! Thank you for all the information, interesting! Catch you next time!
You should do a video on the Great Salt Lake’s upcoming arsenic crisis that people here are in denial about
The word " Tulare " is pronounced with the " E ", the E is not silent !!!
It sounds so strange to hear the word being mispronounced after a lifetime ( 74 years ),
of hearing it pronounced properly.
I live in Fresno, Fresno county, an adjoining county.
Tim
I'm from Iowa and for some reason, I knew the e was not silent.
I love that you acknowledge climate change!
Capital city of Nepal, ' Kathmandu' was lake too. A very dig one. And look also for late monsoon heavy rain fall for 2 days here..
Insurance companies should deny insurance to any people who have a residence or business in the Tulare Basin.
Love your eyes ❤️❤️
Lake Tulare area ought to be preserved as a national wetlands or protected area.
May the lake come back strong!
They need to make the lake permanent and make money off the lake. Farm fish or create a game fishing business. It's extremely sad the lake was destroyed to begin with. California could use a huge lake like that
THE ORIGIN MAPS made by early explorers showed California as a large island so it could be navigated from southern CA to Northern CA close to the Sierra Nevada mountains
i love you and your videos
This is like trying to live at the bottom of a swimming pool. Sure, sometimes it's drained...but...
Coffee's out for WATOP
Growing up in the Central Valley we say “tulary”. Its not out of disrespect for indigenous. I grew up in Squaw Valley CA, ask a native they’ll tell you they don’t care for re naming. The slow reveal on the eyes then beard now what looks like a fake witches peak. You have me captivated, it’s working.
A lot of oil wells were drilled in the Tulare Lake area back in the 80s.
Imagine the awesome conversations you'd have hanging out with this guy at your local coffee house.
Good video
At one point in time actual steam powered riverboats could make it inland from the Sacramento delta to Fresno up the San Joaquin river. That blew my mind when I heard that.
Have people really been fussing about your anonymity? I suppose I'm not surprised. Frankly, that desire of people to pry into peoples lives is THE reason I haven't actually dabbled much in content creation. You want to be and remain anonymous? That's fine by me; I'd want to be treated the same way.
This was an interesting episode covering quite a lot of natural phenomenon. I can't recall if I've heard of this lake before, but I'm not surprised something like it exists on our planet. Thanks for sharing. :3
Kent Hovind, creation seminar 7 part series. It will help you as you gather details on matters. You do seem like one who might want to atleast learn.
The pile of spike on the title image of this video sent to chill to my spine.
At around 5:35, the sound of the population centers being placed made me think my cat was under the bed, coughing up a furball. I mean, it sounded just like it. 😂
too·leh·ree
There was a town called English Indiana
It flooded so much that they finally moved it to higher ground
It does make sense to think of it as a ghost lake
One day in Indy we had it rained 7 in in one day
I said take pictures take records so you know what the worst situation would be
I prefer to call water that's being landed instead of land that's being flooded
5:10 Is that a sativa?
DUDE…I was literally just saying to my husband how I’m perfectly fine not looking up or trying to find out more about this guy. I don’t need any outside influences getting in the way of me just enjoying your show with the persona you choose to share with us. And that you’re very likable the way you are. Then seconds later you randomly say “thanks for respecting my anonymity”. Fucking nuts
And you’re welcome, dude
And the reeds are pronounced toooly
Also Stockton to the north used to be called tuleburg yes pronounced toolieberg
Aaand the fog that filled the valley from coastline fog slipping thru the coastal mtn range
You guessed tulefog or toolie-fog
Just wanted to let you know I love your program
I respect ur right to privacy!!
If all the farmers adopted Permaculture Farming practices instead of their current destructive ecco system practices, this would solve all their issues.
They would grow better high-yield crops that do not require harsh chemical herbicides or pesticides. By adopting Permaculter Practices you would also solve your water problems as well.
I do suspect, that per the 'footprint' on the map, the lake was much, much larger at one time !
Just goes to show it might not be a great idea to build on land where a lake used to be...
(Also it's pronounced too-LAIR-ee)
I would love to discover new countries 🤠
I have a scar on my leg resulting from getting cut by broken glass while swimming. Please do not swim in Tulare Lake.
How do insurance companies react towards this issue? Do they keep paying claims?
Need just to look at lake Baikal
